Shovelnose

[Andy P]

Hi all,

Does anyone know of any species of shovelnose cat that stay small enough to be suitable for a rio 400?
I'd love to have a Tiger shovelnose but I guess that just a dream until I can convince the wife it's a good idea to get a 20 foot tank!!!!

Thanks

Andy

Depending on tankmates and the way the tank is laid out you could have 2 or 3 Sorubim lima, they don't do well with aggressive fish unless there is enough room to get away and often smash their noses if they are constantly spooked and they require a good ammount of swimming space for nocturnal prowling with individual resting places at the back for the daylight hours but this could just about be provided in a 5 foot tank.
